Description
One of the hits of the Festival d’Avignon 2025 is coming to the Lliure. It joins the talents of Israel Galván, a dancer, iconoclast and innovator in traditional flamenco, and Mohamed El Khatib, one of the most prestigious creators in French theatre today who views his art as a playful, grassroots tool of social transformation.
With this show—as unclassifiable as its creators—they engage in dialogue with their own parents, who are at the show on a big screen. It is a provocative, ironic, tender ‘love letter’ from two brave artists who dared to follow their vocations despite it all.
